Why these ASX 200 stocks could be strong buys in 2026

If you have space in your portfolio for some new additions, then read on.

That's because listed below are two ASX 200 stocks that could be strong buys according to analysts at Bell Potter.

Here's what the broker is saying about them:

Catapult Sports Ltd (ASX: CAT)

The first ASX 200 stock that could be a strong buy in 2026 is Catapult Sports.

It is a sports technology company that specialises in wearable tracking solutions and analytics for athlete tracking.

Bell Potter believes the company is well-positioned for a period of very strong growth. This is thanks to its leadership position in a market that is expected to double from 2025 to 2030. The broker said:

Catapult Sports is a leading global provider of elite athlete wearing tracking solutions and analytics for athlete tracking. The key target market of Catapult is elite sporting teams and organisations and the acquisition of SBG also now gives the company a presence in motorsports. The pro sports technology market is currently valued at US$36bn in 2025 and is forecast to double to US$72bn by 2030. We view CAT as a market leader entering a stronger phase of cash generation and operating leverage, with an underpenetrated global customer base and expanding analytics suite providing a long runway for subscription growth and valuation upside.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $6.50 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of over 50% for investors over the next 12 months.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

Another ASX 200 stock that gets the seal of approval from Bell Potter is WiseTech Global. It is a leading provider of software solutions to the logistics industry.

After a difficult time in 2025 due to leadership controversies and product launch delays, the broker appears positive on the company's outlook. Especially given its market leadership and ultra low churn rates. It said:

WiseTech is a leading global provider of software solutions to the logistics industry, with its market-leading CargoWise One platform used by many of the world's largest logistics providers. The company's quality is underpinned by a highly predictable business model, with around 95% of its revenue being recurring and a customer churn rate of less than 1%. This provides clear and consistent cash flow, enabling a distinct path to deleverage, with management confident in reducing ND/EBITDA from ~3x in FY26 to 1.7x in FY27.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $100.00 price target on WiseTech Global's shares. This suggests that upside of 45% is possible from current levels.
